Toyota Yaris reliability

[Idahotom]

I feel the same way about the clutch, other then that zero issue with my '08 I bought used 15 K ago. 78k on it now.

If I have the radio blaring, I often stall it, a loud radio and wearing big steel toed boots and that clutch is not a good combination. A small price to pay for everything else I love about it. I just need to pay a bit more attention starting off then other rigs is all.

I too hate the clutch on my Yaris. Have stalled it a few times, but I am getting more used to it after a year of ownership. Rarely happens these days, but still a pain. Never had problems on my Honda's, or previous Toyota Tercel.

As far as the Yaris reliability:

- Water pump replaced by previous owner under warranty. (mileage unknown)
- New tires all around at 163,000 km.
- ABS Sensor Problem repaired (both sides) under warranty at 172,000 km
- OEM battery replaced at 173,000 km. Not too bad after 6.5 years.

I've noticed the same thing with a different type of boot. While working in my yard, I've found the best way to keep fire ants away from my feet (at any time of the year) is to wear two pairs of socks and then put on these high calf cut rain boots that I got at Wal-Mart for 5 or 6 bucks. Sometimes I'll need to go to Lowes or Home Depot in the middle of what i'm doing and I find that the loud radio, the clutch, and those rain boots are not a good combination.
